'If It's Football, It's Vital'

Dutch trialist on target

Dutch winger Romeo Castelen boosted his chances of a Middlesbrough deal by scoring during a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old was on target as Boro were defeated 2-1 by Carlisle United at Rockliffe Park.

He had already appeared in earlier pre-season friendlies against Hartlepool United and Carlisle.

The Cumbrians were initially helped by an own-goal before Castelan levelled from a Merouane Zemmama free-kick delivery. Dave Symington later struck the winner for the visitors from another set-piece.

Middlesbrough: Ripley, Pilatos, Hines, Okosieme, Halliday, Zemmama, Smallwood, Castelen, L. Williams, Fowler, Main

Carlisle United: Gillespie, Simek, Staunch, Murphy, Minor, Todd, Thirlwell, Welsh, Symington, Beck, Cadamarteri

subs: Parker, Berwick, Dempsey, Gwinnutt, Salmon
